New plugin: freedesktop

[kerobaros]

Currently, all this plugin does is create a ".directory" file in the root of a queried album, matching issue #707. I plan to make it run as part of the import procedure, if configured.

The .directory file only contains the "Icon" key. I'm not too familiar with this fdo standard, are there any other useful keys that can be written into the file?

Very cool! Thanks for putting this together; I'm sure people will be interested in this.

You're right that an auto mode would be good to have. You could consider hooking into the album_imported event hook—or even item_moved or item_copied if you want this to work outside of the import process.

Also, would you mind drafting a quick documentation page for this plugin? It shouldn't need to be too complex. 😃

Here's the spec listing the available fields for .desktop files—I don't see much that would be useful outside of Icon.

Alright, working as expected and passing Travis. That should satisfy issue #707; any opposition?

This looks perfect. Thanks again! ✨

I actually found and fixed one small problem (see above): using beets.config['auto'] was looking for a top-level "auto" option. This variant uses a method inside the plugin class to get access to self.config, which looks inside the freedesktop: section.

I also fiddled with the style just a little bit.
